Wow, when Jordan said how the audience writes in their mind the bad ending, even though he changed it to something else, was powerful. That really stuck with me. That's powerful writing.
Well... not really, he threw us a curveball, that's all.
@@v-22 crafting an effective curveball is mad skill.
So very true. The reaction of Black people in the theater was so "unreal" because of the bleak reality that we were all expecting at the end. Great, great work, J Peele.
@@v-22 how? by not letting the ending be real cops? naw, i think he adapted the movie perfectly, hes a genius
I love how you can see Jordan Peele listening so intensely. He's new to directing but you can see he's really taking in the things that these other writer/directors are saying
I love how much the whole table perked up when they got to ask him about Get Out. Can really tell that they all loved it and have tremendous respect for it.
He's not new to direction. He's new to directing drama films. I think he's just an attentive person regardless.
It's so weird seeing Jordan Peele being this serious writer/director now. Definite career transition.
i'd say he's new to writing too he should listen . despite the black hires fame he wont ever get there
LET 👏THEM 👏SPEAK👏
I imagine getting loads of very busy hollywood types in a room is hard, then there is their time, then their ego to talk consistently and to divert from the subject, then there is airing time, sure it could be 12 hours long and we'd watch it, but it really would maintain a good flow. so , if you think about it, the presenter does an amazing job of keeping it moving, being fair with time and asking questions we would actually like to hear. peace,
*not maintain
Oh...I thought it was just me...
SAY IT LOUDER-
Fatih Akin is so ridiculously well spoken. Its nice to see a foreign filmmaker get recognized by these things
lmao every viewer just sighed in exhaustion when stephen galloway came on onscreen
hahahaa my reaction exactly!!
He wasn't that bad though tbh
How did you KNOW
I literally said, Oh noo...
I'm sure he's an ok chap but I'm not keen on how he cuts across to another writer as two others are sharing a funny moment. Fxcking rude.
i love these writers roundtables because the conversations are so well paced and thoughtful. there's no talking over each other or dominating the room, just a bunch of people who are as excited to hear each other speak as they are to share their own ideas. really nice
It's so weird seeing Jordan Peele being this serious writer/director now. Definite career transition.
Not really. Comedy is a serious thing too.
@Alexander Supertramp The show hasn't aired since 2015
He makes overrated SJW movies that tick off boxes by featuring black people. That’s the only reason get out was nominated...
southlondon86 - *NO*
Thomas Crown Madam I’m not white. Get Out was overrated crap which wouldn’t have won anything had it not been for the race angle. I know it’s hard for you to accept but even ethnic minorities are fed up with PC culture and box ticking. There’s a lot of movies that are awful/plain average but are overrated due to political agendas. Black panther is horribly average but because it features black people it won awards. Nothing more to it.
Darren aronovski looks like a Christian bale character
ohmagad
He's such a mindless hack, look at the guy and then look at his art, disgusting
noun uneedtono what’s wrong with the guy he makes unique character films it’s what he’s known for
Infer unique? You call taking copying another film like ”perfect blue” unique?
Looks a bit like Steve Jobs to me in a way.
Fatih Akin is so ridiculously well spoken. Its nice to see a foreign filmmaker get recognized by these things
I met a girl who acted in his films. Apparently he's a bully and a tosser on set.
@@powerbite92 Was the girl also Turkish, if she is, she is probably lying
@@hannibalburgers477 ım turkısh . ı dont want to defend turkısh people. cuz they dont deserves but what u do is pure racism. ı hope u recover from that one day
Stephen my old, rude friend, so we meet again...
This guy has become my favorite Oscar meme
I want to see Chris Nolan on one of these round table discussions.
35:50 The Legend strikes!!
Tell that interviewer to take more of a backseat. He keeps derailing natural conversation between the writers, which is the interesting bit.
I agree, I can understand he’s trying to get through all his talking point but the beauty of a round table is supposed to be discussions, not interviewing
Jordan and Darren are both stellar artists
Stoked for Emily
Legendary group of people. One of my favorite roundtables.
PLEASE. I don't know how many years we've been saying this. PLEASE get rid of this moderator. It's clearly an issue and it doesn't look like he's been made aware of his problem or ever will be. So either, bring the problems (interrupting) to his attention or just get someone new already. PLEASE. It's unfair to the people who want to speak, and to the viewers. It's enough already.
He's so bad at being a host, whoever hired him should be fired too.
After watching Sorkin's masterclass, I just appreciate his consistency and true grasp of his knowledge of his area of expertise.
Fatith Akin. The only man who understood what was happening and chose to have women at his dinner party. 💯
The abrupt transitions to the next question are startling. You can literally see the room shift in discomfort.
I want to see Chris Nolan on one of these round table discussions.
Yogin Naidoo he has been on directors roundtable 2014 I believe
Roundtables are like taking a glimpse into the gorgeous minds of your favourite artists. Brilliant!
35:50 The Legend strikes!!
Siva Sekar LMFAO I thought the same thing
fucking hell
Siva Sekar i swear i love people like you.comments like this give me life
Galloway needs to get bitch slapped!
thats actually the moment that brought me to the comment section.lol
When I write I find that if I don't know the ending when I start writing, I never finish my story. I love these Writer's Round Table discussions.
it's different for everyone, people like Tarantino and the Coen brothers seem to not think about the ending ahead of time too much, based on quotes I've heard from them
"Listen" -Aaron Sorkin
Literally one of the most interesting things I've ever listened to
Emily V. Gordon is so great. I can't wait to see what she writes or produces next.
So much talent in one room. Love this.
I desperately want Galloway to let Akin speak and tell his instagram story but he just keeps interrupting him. I always watch these and wish they would change the moderator, another year, same rude host!
Yes, that bothered me too. I wanted to hear the Instagram story and he was trying to steer him away in the middle of his sentence!? Bad moderator.
Darren Aronofsky is such a great filmmaker and should have more recognition
I admit Mother! It's a bit pretentious, but there must be more original movies to make a difference
You are right in this one. In a certain way, it's a movie to see while you're smoking pot
I think for Requiem alone directors would chase audiences expectations to match that film's calibre.
I agree, guy's made some good fucking movies. Requiem, The Wrestler and Black Swan were amazing, but even his less accessible movies like Fountain and Mother are always at least interesting.
Not every work is going to be a masterpieces. Audiences are stupid for always demanding perfection but they go apeshit over the dumbest summer blockbuster movies.
By far the most interesting of the round tables so far this season!
Writers are always better!
Galloway is like the fraizer of Hollywood reporter. We all ask for less but they keep giving us more
What a inspirational roundtable
thank you for uploading the whole broadcast
The Fountain, til this day, is my favourite film. I even have "You do. You will." tattooed on both of my wrists. It was so entertaining to hear him say that he doesn't know what genre he'd put it in, bc I can't agree more. It's a drama, but it's sci-fi, but it's creative history. It's incredible.
58:10
Is writing fun?
*In a room full of writers*
It's not a dumb question. You can easily have a passion for something that is laborious: quite often that is the case.
It's even worse to hear that from a "journalist" no less... but it makes sense, given how bad an "interviewer" Galloway is, don't you think? hahahaha
The advice for writers question was exactly what I needed to hear today.
Thank you so much for your invaluable insight, I cannot stress enough how the Hollywood roundtables help emerging film industry professionals.
This was so great, I learned from every single one sitting around that table. Great stuff.
Very valuable talk, thank you for posting!
As a visual artist etc. so much of what was said applies to all the artist. Jordan Peele saying for him 'Follow the fun' was what helped him the most, may help me the most.
54:06 Advice for Writers
I love Jordan Peele last advice for writing was to have fun. I'm currently in a writers' block mode for so long and been concentrating trying to find the right story that I tend to forget to have fun with it.
Me too, liked Jordan Peele advice the most. If you're not getting fun than your job is to find a way to make it fun: "Look at it from different angle"!
@@3lazinflava There's a reason he won an Academy Award on his first try, I think. And that isn't to say I honestly think much of how they rank film, I mean hitchcock never won an oscar...regardless he deserved the win and not of some racebait bs. I won't reply to anything like that, it is inane and just blind-sighted to objectively good storytelling...This outlook (follow the fun) seems to explain why he was able to write something that good to me, and I found it more identifiable than anything else in the video (which is not saying any small thing, this was a great video). You will never write or draw or make any music better than the story YOU would want to read or thing you want to see or song you want to hear etc etc. And he's right that sort of creative juggling is very helpful, it allows you to take breaks while still keeping your mind flowing creatively (ie jumping from writing to playing an instrument during a block for example)--actually, Peele's example is interesting because "designing a secret society" is something he did for the story of Get Out. I wouldn't be surprised if he did it for fun in reality, and followed the fun because he liked it and that is how it wound up in the script (and possibly got him past his block). Just speculating tho i have no idea. I think the fact that he comes from a comedy background probably definitely helps inform the 'follow the fun idea' though, as well as his writing in the horror genre, it relies a lot on the same sorts of techniques for comedy (suspense, build up, outrageous concepts, even shock and also etc)
And regarding the original comment here, I appreciate what you're trying to do but the whole thing is advice for writers...hell, if anything maybe some advice for writers could be to have the patience to just watch and listen to the whole thing. Writing takes a lot of patience, itself.
What a great discussion, loved it!
Cool hearing Darren Aronofsky talk about his films. I love Black Swan & Requiem for a Dream.
Fatih Akin is a fascinating guy when he speaks. I really liked The Edge of Heaven. I'll have to watch In the Fade.
I wanna know what kind of conversation these guys were having during the photo shoot
Kunal Malhotra i be thinkin the same thing.lol it’s probably just awkward banter-to soothe the nerve-racking of being photographed in front of people you would rather impress, candidly.
Such a great conversation to spy on. Another insightful THR Roundtable. All inspiring filmmakers. I do hope in the coming years those who dismissed Aronofsky's MOTHER! will rewatch it and give it a chance. Was my favorite film that year, twice in Cinemas and at least a couple views on my own at home. So powerfully rewarding and rich on various levels. Ever since seeing Pi and Requiem For A Dream as a younger individual I always excitedly anticipate Darren's forthcoming projects. I can understand why some viewers might feel to challenged or unsettled by his films, but they each have unique elements and genuine passion weaving the Arthouse into the more accessible genre troupes. Even now Mother! is a favorite of recent years. Can't wait to see what his next, "The Wale" looks like.
bring back the producers moderator!
this was AMAZING
54:58 Most valuable sentence in that kindfull roundtable. Thank You! 🤍
I really enjoyed this discussion. Tis was lit!
Skipping right over the producers round table to DEVOUR THIS.
I see Jordan I click
3:13 why can't Stephen always reply like that..
I watched this whole thing, and I am amazed at how fascinated I am with it
I, like many other people in the comments, don't really like this moderator, but surprisingly I come to the end of this video and somehow I understood why we need him. Yes sometimes it is sad when he interrupts an awesome story but we need a moderator in these roundtables, because even though one person story might be extremely interesting, it is a roundtable and everyone must have more or less the same "air" time or at least the opportunity to have so. Otherwise it would be just one or two people talking all the time and everyone just listening. That sounds great too, but it is not the purpose of these videos.
If you prefer conversations with no moderators you can always go see actors on actors. (variety needs to start including directors and writers)
It's not about there being a moderator at all. It's about STEPHEN GALLOWAY being the moderator. He's horrible. We all understand and agree there's a function for one. We just don't want Galloway. Obviously there needs to be someone to steer the conversation but he constantly steps on his subjects, re-directs conversations at break neck speed just when they're getting interesting and snuffs out what other subjects have to say just to get to his stupid "desert island"-like questions. If you want to see a moderator do it right, watch the 3 hour DGA roundtable.
He's been moderating these round-tables for years, would have been odd without him.
Girl you took the words right out of my mouth, but with more eloquence!
I get your point, but I also think it's a matter of finesse. You can't just blurt out your next question as someone's going in depth with a point/story. It's annoying to people who want to hear the point and probably to the one getting interrupted.
He's also terrible because his questions sound like some 12 year old who read a book about film. He seems to very much be a fanboy who doesn't REALLY get this industry. He'll sometimes just ask obvious questions.
I need more of these writer tables please.
Where is Tommy Wiseau???
Tommy L. Best comment on the board!
Too busy not hitting Lisa
Oh Haiii Mark 👋
make it longer haha

thank you Hollywood Reporter for doing this
I absolutely love all these round tables
3:13 why can't Stephen always reply like that..
Someone please stop letting Stephen Galloway do these
I highly doubt someone ever will, he's the CEO of the Hollywood reporter
The real question to me is do we need a moderator. Personally at least the most interesting thing in these roundtables is when the guests just start asking each other questions and just discuss their craft.
LarryRock100 lollll but he's an icon
I like him. He asks pertinent questions irregardless of who he's speaking to and isn't afraid to interrupt and move the conversation along when he feels its necessary.
It says he is the Executive Managing Editor. Is that the same thing in writer land?
Boy i really struggle not with ideas but just with the structure These people are brilliant
Thank you
Anthony McCarten's writing for Darkest Hour is amazing and very nuanced. He brought a very subtle and well balanced conversation about leadership and hard decisions.
That was such a good episode. The follow the fun thing, among so many other things mentioned, is so true. It’s the same with any art form, if it starts to not be fun then you aren’t doing it right. Your being too cautious with it.
The only master at that table barely said a word. But the cool thing is, he truly seemed engaged to listen and learn, which taught me something.
Darren Aronofsky and Jordan Peele should work together.
Aronofsky is so cool. Looks like he's Christian Bale in disguise
Great roundtable.
i haven't watched this yet, how many times did he interrupt them
I’ve been keeping count for a year, I’ll update with the end count
Too many times
A fly on the wall, thank you
best roundtable ever!
roundtables are the best!
Stephen got a new suit! OK Steve I see you!
I like how humble and supportive Sorkin is. Maybe the most accomplished writer in movie making and he's all ears.
I’ve previously thought so little of the moderator so this time I’ve told myself to listen to each question as they come and at that moment consider whether it’s interesting. It’s changed my opinion on the guy.
His well-crafted, quality questions are why Galloway facilitates the roundtables. Ty for noticing.
he's terrible.
Excellent
Great video, I don't love the moderator, but there was still so much interesting conversation.
53:45 the hosts get called out 🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣😂😆😆
Ok. This is the round table for me!!
How can you not recommend Aranofsky? He's like a contemporary Bergman! I'd love to see his interpretation of Batman so much more than what Nolan did.
Hell yeah!!! I've been waiting!!!!
same
When Darren goes on a little rant it sometimes feels like he's almost apologizing for his movie lol
Well an F Cinemascore is a pretty hard thing to swallow (coming from someone who really liked MOTHER!)
what is a cinemascore and i doubt arronofsky cares what they think
the fact that mother! got nominated for fucking razzies, yet hes sitting at this roundtable speaks VOLUMES
yeah the razzies very credible source of film critique what next are you gonna give us the cinemasins number
the fact that black swan, requim for a dream, the fountain and pi are all better than anyhting these cunts did besides the social network(mostly due to fincher) speaks volumes this guy is a true artist compared to this therapist chick and her one off film and jordan peele and his pseudo intelligent film about race relations which really is just a thriller comedy masquareded as a horror about race
Can we have an hour each of each of these legends?
Great video. But what about the 'red line' Anthony talks about in terms of not mentioning the many millions of deaths engineered by Churchill across the Commonwealth colonies?
It's incredibly upsetting when an esteemed writer is on the verge of revealing a golden kernel of advice and wisdom and this reporter cuts them off.
Each Director & Writer is different and has their own way of telling a story. For me Creativity is at the top of the list.
me looking up from my phone wondering what they meant when they said "second screen" lmao
Aronofsky is a genre unto himself.
This interviewer is FANTASTIC
*deep hateful sarcasm*
Galloway..."Hello Darkness, my old friend"
Honestly I'm happy this got as many views as it did for a Writer's Panel. I like writing as a hobby to hopefully professional someday, but I don't assume most people to care or find it interesting.
Have they done any round tables with Authors? Help would be appreciated.
Thank you, Stephen Galloway, for asking this question (25:42). I get frustrated with reinterpretations of real people/events for the sake of making a 'better movie'. As a storyteller, if someone's real story is worth retelling, then do so; if you have to transform it in order to deliver the movie you really want, then make up your own story. My one caveat on this is the inclusion of "inspired by" in the presentation. At least the gives the audience a heads-up that we're being led off the beaten path somewhat.
Top notch
FOLLOW THE FUN!
gosh, thanks, jordan peele!! that's the best!!
Are the full versions available?
18:21 , poor dude kept trying to tell a story and keeps getting cut off. make these 3 hours long so everyone can say what they want to say.
flyersruleJC24 I’m sure these are edited down from a longer version
Stephan Boxie i feel like they are, they should release them for the cinephiles haha
There's never enough time to say what they want to say. The longer the time, the more they want to say. The moderator is there to make sure everyone says something.
35:50 The Legend strikes!!
Aaron Sorkin: 'After 9/11'
CZcams: Ad Break
wow omg best ive seen in a while, this and guillermo last time
some brilliant minds
Would've loved to see Martin McDonagh here.
or ty sheridan or sean baker or paul thomas anderson
FilMyWatchlist it's more likely that he didn't want to do it
taylor sheridan did it last year.
SAME! He is such an inspiration to listen too. His advice to young writers is "don't listen to anyone's advice on how to write scripts and do it your way"
yesss
lord! 58 mins flew by so fast!!!
Aaron sorkins writing is a gift for us all
Wow, Galloway did good this time around. Nice job.
I wish these were longer.
